Room Rates

RESERVATIONS: All of our rooms are $150 a night plus 12% tax. Per the State Fire Code, we are restricted to two persons per room. Their definition of "person" goes something like this: If they are a tax deduction and have a Social Security Number, they qualify as a person. We offer a 20% discount to kama'ainas with proof of residency and to active military with a military ID. We are not child-friendly and our insurance company will only allow us to accommodate adults/kids 21 or over.

We will hold a room for you with the receipt of a deposit, either by email or phone. Deposits may be made with a MasterCard, Visa or Discover card. We charge your card only when you arrive, or if you fail to show up without canceling (see our cancellation policy below). You'll have much better luck emailing the information to us than trying to catch us by phone.

TELEPHONE AND VOICE MESSAGES: I built the house too big, I'll admit it right here and now. I am hardly ever within range when the phone rings, if I hear it at all (too many Who concerts in my youth). Right now I am the only guy running the place. So between getting the rooms ready, finding fresh fruit for breakfasts, picking up our fresh French pastries and about a million other things, please don't be offended if you don't catch me. PLEASE remember, the sun comes up here last, so you can call after work but not before. Even some of the guys from NASA get it wrong. I try to return messages in the morning after the guests leave the house and again in the early evening but not after 6 p.m. here. There are too many area codes and too many time zones. So I may take a day to get back to you. Don't panic. If you're booking rooms a couple months in advance, it shouldn't be a problem unless it's a holiday of some sort. When you do leave your message, speak slowly and please include the dates you are interested in, which rooms you would like to reserve, and your phone number. If you're lucky, they'll be available. The absolute best way to get me your credit card information is by email, oh, stop cringing, 90% of our guests do it. Your credit card number goes onto the reservation slip and is deleted from the system as soon as you arrive.

CHECK-IN: Check-in time is 3 p.m. If you are arriving early, call us; your room may be ready early. If it's not ready early, you can at least check in and drop off your luggage and not have to worry about them being in the trunk all day and fair game for the local "crack heads." Yes, I'm completely serious. And I'm sure shopping for new clothes in mine is not a pretty sight for anyone. LATE CHECK-INS: If you are going to be checking in late (after 6 p.m.), please call ahead or email us to let us know as soon as possible. Even if it's just to leave us a message, we would greatly appreciate it. Otherwise, after 6 p.m. we may give your rooms away to strangers. CHECK-OUT: Check-out time is noon. EARLY DEPARTURES: If you're leaving early to catch the sunrise at Haleakala, let us know the night before and we can have breakfast for you to take up to the summit. Early plane to catch: same rules. If you plan not to be here for breakfast, please let us know the day before, either by calling, leaving a message, telling us in person, or by leaving a note in the kitchen so we don't needlessly kill tons of innocent fruit.

CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY: Cancellations made 30 days prior to check-in date will not be charged. Charges for cancellations made less than 30 days prior to check-in will depend on our ability to rebook the room.

RESTRICTIONS: The County of Maui, the State of Hawaii and our insurance company have placed restrictions on our bed and breakfast operation. We are one of the twelve properly licensed (MPK 2009/001) bed and breakfasts operating legally in this county. Here are some of our restrictions:

If you plan to scuba dive while you are here, DON'T. Check with your divemaster and tell him you're staying at 3,000 feet and he'll probably tell you the same thing. You don't want you to get "bent" this high up on the mountain, and the hyberbaric chamber is on Oahu.

We are not allowed to prepare hot meals for you, not even toast or oatmeal. We do not have a certified kitchen or a 1000-gallon grease trap.

There is no smoking allowed anywhere on the premises, not even in the back yard. You must actually leave the property to kill yourself. It's a state law - take it up with them.

We are not allowed to - nor will we ever again - do weddings.

We can make ABSOLUTELY NO NOISE whatsoever outside after 10 p.m. This can result in immediate eviction. Our neighbors are very close by and it is way too quiet up here to be disturbing the natives.

Now have as much as fun you can without hurting yourself or us. Always remember that Mother Nature is lethal here. The ocean is different here than anywhere else in the world, and unless you're very familiar with the currents, the tide and waves, don't go out. "When in doubt, don't go out" is a local saying. Believe it. The mountains and the streams are no less dangerous. Stay on marked trails and go with a guide if you are not familiar with the area or its trails. Always check with the rangers before going into Haleakala Crater or Kipahula and the Oheo Gulch (Seven Pools). Be around to see all of Maui.

ROOM AMENITIES INCLUDE:

King-size beds are in three of our guest rooms, twin beds in the other.

Luxurious private baths with double vanities.

Large showers in all rooms. Our downstairs ADA rooms have both large barrier-free showers and tubs.

Antiques and Hawaiian plantation decor: All of our beds are covered with beautiful Hawaiian quilts. If you don't need them to keep warm, please keep them off the floor and fold them up and place on one of the chairs or in the closet.

All rates include a daily continental breakfast of locally grown fresh fruit (papayas, pineapples, mangos, bananas, strawberries and/or passion fruit), pastries from our local French bakery, fresh orange juice and Kona coffee.

When you see the terms "we" and "our" used here, it usually means me and the dog!

If you're on a special diet you'd like to continue while you're here, we can help; low-fat, no-fat, high-fat, low-protein, high-protein, low-carb, high-carb, vegetarian, lacto-ovo or vegan. We've been on most of these diets, in some cases several times. Just let us know ahead of time. We will do our best to accommodate you.
